@ DavidJPeterson: Is this a fact you consider private? WP:BLP prohibits inclusion of private information about non relevant topics, especially for living people who are not public figures.
IMO, you are what's technically called a "limited purpose quasi-public figure" — i.e. only when talking about professional conlanging, and even then, only restricted to topics relevant to linguistics & conlanging. You've not made your personal life a matter of significant public discussion even in that context, aside from very limited anecdotes like the background of Megdevi. (Discussion with personal friends doesn't count.)
So basically, if you don't want this included in the article, it's Wikipedia policy that it should not be, out of respect for your privacy. Sai ¿? ✍ 14:59, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
PS To do the @ thing: ((Reply|username)) but change parens to braces. Sai ¿? ✍ 15:02, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
@ Saizai: I don't actually mind, so long as the information is correct, but I agree it doesn't seem relevant enough for inclusion. DavidJPeterson ( talk) 20:26, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
